TROLLEY TO PORT BEFORE XMAS
Line is Now Completed
[Welland Tribune, 8 December 1910]
The long and unaccountable delay in opening up the N.S.&T. railway extension from Welland to Port Colborne at last appears to be very near an end. Within the past two weeks work has been rushed along the line, so that at the present time it is practically completed. The diamonds have been put in for the B&G. railway crossing at Port Colborne and the M.C.R. crossing at Welland, and the diamond for the T.H.&B. crossing arrived here Monday. It will take but a short time to install this. The interlocking switches for the railway crossings are all finished and the wiring has been completed. On Monday the piling for the temporary bridge across the feeder was all in and all that remained to be done was to put on the capping and lay the rails. A work train and large number of men have also been busy completing the grading.
It is the intention to commence operating cars on this division just as soon as possible. It is said the date for opening the line will be not later than a week before Christmas.
It is not likely that the service from Welland north will be interfered with at all, but another car will be put on between Welland and Port Colborne, connecting with the cars here for the north.
